Remove Background from Cat Photo
Whiskers are the detail that exposes a bad cutout: they’re one or two pixels wide and most tools simply delete them. bgclear’s AI is built for exactly this kind of fine structure — it keeps whiskers, ear tufts and chest fur while removing the sofa, carpet or garden behind your cat.

Whiskers survive only with contrast
White whiskers in front of a white wall cannot be detected by any tool. Shoot your cat against a mid-tone background so whiskers stand out, then remove it — they’ll be preserved in the cutout.
Backlit ears are a feature
Light glowing through thin ear edges creates semi-transparent pink rims. bgclear keeps that translucency rather than hardening it, which keeps portraits looking soft and lifelike.
Get on the cat’s eye level
Top-down shots foreshorten the body and bury the chest fur edge in floor texture. Eye-level shots give the AI a clean silhouette and make far better portrait cutouts.

FAQs
Are whiskers really preserved?
Yes, as long as they have some contrast against the original background. They are kept as fine semi-transparent strokes in the PNG.
My cat is mid-jump — will it work?
If the frame is sharp, yes. Motion blur is the enemy: blurred edges produce soft, smudged cutouts regardless of the tool.
Can I use the cutout for printed merchandise?
Yes — the output is HD and watermark-free, suitable for print-on-demand products.
Is there a limit on how many photos I can process?
No limit. bgclear is free and unlimited with no account required.
Is bgclear free to use?
Yes — free, unlimited, with no signup and no watermark on downloads.
Which image formats can I upload?
JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10MB. Output is an HD transparent PNG.
